the view for all those who enjoy her walls,”
Julie explains of the uniquely shaped floor
plan, which almost seems to wrap around
the circular infinity edge pool like a necklace
encircling the décolletage of a stunningly
beautiful woman. Such a shape, naturally,
was not without vision or forethought: “The
concept in our design was for the focus
to always be on its views of the Emerald
Coast, and we really wanted that shape to be
encapsulating in the privacy it affords, with
no neighbors visible and a complete sense of
hidden retreat that you’ll feel sitting in the
patio spaces or swimming in the pool.”
Much like the jaw-dropping expanse of
space claimed under-roof, the outdoor living
areas at Destin Jewel are equally impressive,
with 5,000 square feet of balcony spaces,
decking and entertaining areas so luxuriously
equipped that they give indoor living a run
for its money. As if that circular infinity-
edged pool with unobstructed views of the
beach wasn’t enough, the pool also boasts
two swim-up bars and multiple fire features
including a central aquarium glass fire
feature and accent torches. To heat things
up even more, a grand hot tub with room
enough for twelve is mere steps away; and
an outdoor kitchen with designer-grade
appliances plays to every chef’s dream.
Back inside, the kitchen on the main
floor could easily prepare meals refined to
Michelin star levels, with features to suit
the needs of even the most demanding chef.
The capacious kitchen is luxurious in every
way, complimentary to every other room
throughout a home that is destined for
greatness. State-of-the-art sound systems
and a premier party-worthy theater room
play seamlessly into the design, while a
private game room and massage room keep
every level continuing on in top form.
The amenities offered by Destin Jewel
are nothing short of stunning, and for that
it has truly captured the attention of event
planners as well as visitors to the area who
want a luxury vacation unlike anything
they’ve ever experienced. It’s a once-in-a-
lifetime place for some, making it ideal for a
very once-in-a-lifetime event: weddings. “It
really is spectacular for hosting weddings,
not only for its views, but also because of the
amount of space it has on-property,” Julie
explains. “There are areas for large seated
formal dinners both inside and outside
as well as areas for music to be set up and
played. We even eliminate the division
between the outdoors and inside living
spaces with expanses of sliding glass doors
that fully retract, creating additional space
for entertaining on every level.”
There are, of course, those numerous
bedrooms to host families and wedding
parties who come to enjoy the time together
and have a true getaway experience. The
home has nine bedrooms in total, with en-
suite bathrooms in each of the seven master
suites and additional bathrooms on each
level, each honed to perfection with spacious
tubs, walk-in showers and a treasure trove of
other spa-worthy fixtures to dazzle the eye.
Such a jewel is nothing if not breathtaking,
and this enchanting space has become a
premier player in the rental market. It’s a
dream venue for a dream day, and its just
waiting for you to say, “I Do.”
